Chapter 739                                                             

In the Tang Dynasty Palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the Sihai Academy opened by the Wenwuhou is probably going to disappoint His Majesty!"

Mr. Liu came to the palace and complained to Li Yan.

Li Yan's face was as gloomy as water, and she said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, why do you say that?"

According to what I know, the Sihai Academy opened by Lin Fan has a bright future!"

"Your Majesty, the Sihai Academy only has 500 students taking the exam, and according to the Wenwu Hou, these 500 people may only admit dozens of people."

"A college has only a few dozen people, which is simply a joke. There are more than a thousand students in Wenhua Academy. Your Majesty, this Sihai Academy is worse than a seal!"

Mr. Liu said in a deep voice.

He is now dissatisfied with Lin Fan. If he could seal off Lin Fan's academy, he would be very happy.

Li Yan's face became even more gloomy and she said, "Mr. Liu, I know Lin Fan got you, but you don't have to be so angry. You have to seal off Sihai Academy!"

"Your Majesty! This is not that I want to seal Sihai Academy! It is not that Sihai Academy is really bad. If there are only a hundred students, it is just a waste of resources!"

"And Weichen has already discussed with Wenhua Academy that he can give the position of honorary dean to Lin Fan, and then ask Wen Sheng to go to Wenhua Academy to attend classes. There is really no need for this Sihai Academy to exist!"

Mr. Liu said in a deep voice.

He was determined to make things unhappy for Lin Fan, but Li Yan said, "Mr. Liu, even if Lin Fan's Sihai Academy has no student, it is not something I can seal it just by saying that it is enfeoffment. You must know that Sihai Academy was not opened by the imperial court!"

Li Yan's voice was extremely cold. After hearing this, Mr. Liu took a breath of air. He did not expect Li Yan to be so partial to Lin Fan.

Mr. Liu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the power of civil and military servants in our dynasty is a height that ordinary people cannot reach. If Your Majesty blindly indulges him, let him open academy!"

"It would be fine if this academy fails. If it does, wouldn't the students in the world be his disciples? With the help of Wen Sheng, who else can restrain him in the Tang Dynasty?"

Mr. Liu said this from his heart and soul, and was entirely for the sake of the Li Tang royal family, but he never thought about a question: who recovered the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yan said: "Mr. Liu, do you think if Lin Fan had the intention to infringe on the Tang Dynasty, he would voluntarily give up the power to supervise the country?"

"This... Your Majesty, perhaps Lin Fan is thinking of ascending the throne legitimately, rather than regulating the country!"

Mr. Liu said in a deep voice.

"You don't need to worry about this matter!"

Li Yan said coldly.

Mr. Liu had to honestly withdraw. After Mr. Liu retreated, Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Haha! Your Majesty, do you think the relationship between Mr. Liu and Lin Fan can be eased?"

"Mr. Liu is loyal to me. It doesn't matter whether his relationship with Lin Fan eases. With Lin Fan's generousness, he will not have the same knowledge as him."

Li Yan said in a deep voice.

At this time, in the academy, Lin Fan and Songzan Guoguo reviewed the test papers together, with more than 500 test papers, and in the end, only twenty-three were selected.

"Lin Fan, this number is too small. Twenty-three people definitely cannot support a college. Otherwise, how many are admitted to the extreme?"

Songzan Guoguo said.

Although there are not many people in Tubo, there are also some academies similar to those in academies, and in each of those academies, there are no less than five hundred students.

Moreover, if the Sihai Academy is so big, only twenty-three students will appear empty.

“Why do you need to be admitted in an extraordinary way?

Do you know how much money it costs to raise a student?"

Lin Fan asked.

"How much money?"

Songzan Guoguo asked.

"I won't say much. The science we teach, not the early theoretical knowledge, but the later practice, the cost of a student will not be less than ten taels of silver at a time!"

"If you want to cultivate a student who has a solid understanding of science, you must practice it hundreds of times a year!"

"This is still funded by our school, and those students who return home also need to do practical reviews. The cost is more!"

"So, if the students who enter our college are not geniuses, they can only accumulate money. Now, do you think the more students, the better?"

Lin Fan asked back.

At first, Lin Fan considered this issue. If Sihai Academy recruited thousands of students at one time, it would probably be dragged down in less than half a year!

Fortunately, these talented men were all arrogant and they didn't even think about coming to Sihai Academy to enroll, which saved Lin Fan a lot of trouble.

"Lin Fan, I found that I really underestimated you!"

Songzan Guoguo said.

"Haha! I'm step by step from the bottom layer. I'll think about many things more thoughtful than you. Now I'll make a generator with you!"

Lin Fan said.

"Although I can make thermal weapons, I have hardly ever touched on such things as generators. And why are you so persistent in generators?"

Songzan Guoguo asked.

"The beauty of generators is something you can't imagine. Let me give you an example. If there is a generator now, there will be current!"

"And current is a very good and very widely used energy. If we are using some means, we will only make something called a light bulb!"

"As long as the current is connected, the light bulb can shine, and its brightness can be comparable to dozens of candles. Just imagine, they are dozens of candles!"

"If the people can use light bulbs, wouldn't they save a lot of money?"

"That's not all. Electricity can also be used to refrigerate, heat, cook, etc. As long as you have electricity, society will make a lot of progress!"

Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

After listening to Lin Fan's explanation, Songzan Guoguo also became very interested in electricity. She said: "What if we only make the generator?"

"If those students see generators and light bulbs, we will tell them that if they can learn these, they can make generators themselves and sell electricity to wealthy businessmen and officials, making huge profits!"

"Do you think, if I charge them tuition fees, will they agree?"

Lin Fan asked back.

"Yes! The cost of cultivating a student is too great. If we can let those students take the initiative to bear their own expenses, the college will save a lot of trouble!"

Songzan Guoguo said in surprise.

Lin Fan also said: "A student can pay 1,000 taels of tuition. We can also arrange some courses for them or practice, and we can earn a lot of money."
